Purchase a copy/print card at any SFPL location for a minimum of $1 or add value to an existing card. Use bills or credit cards (MasterCard or Visa). Coins are not used; change is not given; refunds are not given.

Printing from Library Computers

Patrons using computers at Chinatown and Richmond branches will call up their documents at the Print Release Stations (in the adult area next to the multifunctional device).

Patrons using computers on Main floors 3, 4, 5 will call up their documents at the Print Release Stations in the Copy Rooms on the corresponding floors.

Print jobs from computers on Main floor 1 will be sent to the Print Release station near the Information Desk.

Print jobs from computers in SF History Center will be sent to the Print Release Station in the Copy Room on floor 5.
